Disney Japan to put Movies on MicroSD Cards

Hum... not sure what to make of this. Disney Japan has announced that they will start to package DVD movies with a microSD card containing the full-length movie. These microSD cards can then be used to view movies on cell phones and other portable devices.

The movie studio plans to package pre-recorded microSD cards together with DVDs holding the same movie content, allowing customers to watch at home as well as on the go. These cards will be available in November.

Users can watch movies stored on microSD cards on mobile phones capable of showing terrestrial digital broadcasting, and other portable gear such as car navigation systems.

They always get fun electronic gadgets there in Japan.

Still, one can already do that, albeit in a restricted fashion, here in the States. The DisneyFile extra that's packaged with DVD/Blu-Ray movies allows you to download the movie onto a portable device via a windows or iPod file.
